10 things you may have missed: Day 13 of Zimmerman trial

You might not have been able to watch every minute of the George Zimmerman trial on Thursday, so we'll get you caught up on the important things. Click through for things you may have missed on Day 13.

1. State delivers closing arguments

State prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda delivered his closing argument in the George Zimmerman trial Thursday afternoon.

2. State attorney says Zimmerman's choices and profiling led to Martin's death

De la Rionda drove home his point that several choices Zimmerman made and his assumptions about Martin ultimately led to Martin's death. He highlighted his points with Powerpoint slides.

3. State attorney questions: how did Martin see the gun?

Zimmerman told police that Martin was reaching for his gun. De la Rionda questioned how Martin was able to see the gun if it was on Zimmerman's backside and it was dark outside.

4. De la Rionda: Don't disregard Rachel Jeantel

De la Rionda spent part of his closing statement trying to make sure the jury wouldn't judge Rachel Jeantel's testimony based on her personality. Jeantel, who was on the phone with Martin shortly before his confrontation with Zimmerman, was hard to understand and combative at times. "I had a dream that today, a witness would be judged not on the color of her personality, but the content of her testimony," his slide said.

5. Zimmerman shakes his head when prosecutor points at him, says he's guilty

De la Rionda walked over to Zimmerman at the end of his closing argument and said he was guilty of second-degree murder. Zimmerman shook his head. See the video

Judge allows manslaughter as lesser charge but not third-degree murder

Judge Debra Nelson will allow the jury to consider manslaughter as a lesser charge, but she will not allow them to consider third-degree murder.

7. "Oh my God. Just when I thought this case couldn't get any more bizarre."

Those were the words of defense attorney Don West after the state requested that third-degree murder be considered as a lesser charge. West complained to the judge that the request was unfair and they hadn't had time to prepare an argument against it. It turns out, the defense didn't need to argue. The state's request was denied.

Defense attorney Mark O'Mara will deliver the defense's closing arguments Friday morning. It is expected to last three hours, followed by the state's one-hour rebuttal. After jury instructions, the jury will begin deliberations.
